REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES: Metabolism, Oxidative Stress, and Signal Transduction

TL;DR: The mechanisms of ROS generation and removal in plants during development and under biotic and abiotic stress conditions are described and the possible functions and mechanisms for ROS sensing and signaling in plants are compared with those in animals and yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species and antioxidant machinery in abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants

TL;DR: The biochemistry of ROS and their production sites, and ROS scavenging antioxidant defense machinery are described, which protects plants against oxidative stress damages.
Journal ArticleDOI

ASCORBATE AND GLUTATHIONE: Keeping Active Oxygen Under Control

TL;DR: A detailed account of current knowledge of the biosynthesis, compartmentation, and transport of these two important antioxidants, with emphasis on the unique insights and advances gained by molecular exploration are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive Oxygen Species, Oxidative Damage, and Antioxidative Defense Mechanism in Plants under Stressful Conditions

TL;DR: The generation, sites of production and role of ROS as messenger molecules as well as inducers of oxidative damage are described and the antioxidative defense mechanisms operating in the cells for scavenging of ROS overproduced under various stressful conditions of the environment are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

PHOTOPROTECTION REVISITED: Genetic and Molecular Approaches

TL;DR: Several photoprotective mechanisms operating within chloroplasts of plants and green algae are summarized, especially with respect to thermal dissipation of excess absorbed light energy, alternative electron transport pathways, chloroplast antioxidant systems, and repair of photosystem II.
